It sounds like it was a very successful and interesting conference, and I wish I could have been there! The theme ‘Crossing Boundaries’ is certainly one all historians should consider, especially when it comes to interdisciplinary work in the field; varied approaches towards the evidence from the outset can only result in greater understanding.
The theme is also very reminiscent of the ‘Connections: Communication in Ancient Egypt’ project which is mentioned earlier on the home page: lots of boundaries were crossed there!
